you hate women in authority - do you need to share?

it’s super fucking weird and very unsettling

No but you could atleast explain how we played .. rather than say " moments "

I don't know what you want me to say. We didn't play hoofball. We passed it around but imo more safely rather than to progress. We did the basics well. And moments of magic cam from individual flair from likes of gyok o hare and hamer.

And at no point have I ever said this bad. All this chat is in response to me saying new manager speculation is at very least bit exciting for the the prospect that we start playing like a Kompany of bielsa team in the championship that's all.

Hope that makes sense now

 

[shmmeee]

i’m just not sure this is the time or the place for your romanticised anarchic anti-structure non-conformist ramblings

Call it what you want what we’ve got now is entrenched shit and it’s because of a focus of process over people.

 

[Boicey]

I can't see our players being up for this game at all today. They have trouble getting motivated anyway. Plenty of excuses around this one not to stand up and be counted.
Maybe Collins if he is played but what's he going to do dive around a bit more, kick it further, lay on the ball for another 3 seconds?
Seriously I hope they play at least with a bit of personal self pride.

 

[covcity4life]

Im trying to mock you not convince you.

You’re upset because Championship Coventry City weren’t winning every game 10-0 playing like a mix of Total Football Holland and 1970s Brazil and you expect other people to take you seriously?

Where have I said I was upset? You wanted the manager sacked not me.

nah, they'll want to impress any prospective new manager, some of them need new deals etc.

that's why you usually see a new manager bump

I SAID PRIOR TO KING ARRIVING OUR COACHING AND RECRUITMENT SETUP WAS SEEN AS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE!

There was no setup - organisationally we were a shambles. It’s why what Robins and Badlan achieved here was so impressive. Great while it lasted, but not exactly a recipe for success.

 

[Essexrobbie]

We been shit since Palmer left yet his haters don't wanna mention that

Lots of factors led to this dismissal

I agree 100%. Palmer unlocked defenses and played off the wall a bit with his back heels and flicks which not always came off, but when they did, it opened up play considerably. No one there now with imagination and flair.

I just think if you expect us to turn into some free flowing attacking team winning every game prepare to be very disappointed. You need parachute cash to produce those teams at this level.

And yet success is what it made. at some points you have to accept the theoretical model you’re applying comes second to the real world.

Well frank lampards free flowing attacking team scored 69 goals in his season there .. 1 less than our efficient team last year

I haven't said I expect it

I said is anyone else excited by the prospect

It happens every time with new manager speculation before the robins era. You never hope the new guy will be shit. You dream of smashing teams

 

[torchomatic]

Just arrived and parked up. Weirdly haven't seen one other City fan yet.

 

[clint van damme]

generally recognised as having one of the best setups in the pyramid.

Easy mate

 

[covcity4life]

Well frank lampards free flowing attacking team scored 69 goals in his season there .. 1 less than our efficient team last year

Once again I never said lampard is the messiah. I was just hoping his mantra of aggressive attack as was told to me by Chelsea season ticket holder works out for us if he comes here.

Mowbray on other hand I could go to bat for. Lamaprd I don't know enough about so it's a wait and see situation

 

[shmmeee]

Easy mate

Name a club that wouldn’t have swapped places with us in terms of trajectory.

 

[covcity4life]

Easy mate

They are turning on each other!

Well I didn't want Mowbray sacked either , but he left before I imagine he was pushed

 

[Ccfcisparks]

That team hurts my eyes. Back 5 with Lati in midfield I think? No Sheaf…

[jordan210]

 

[Robinshio]

no sheaf or dovin

 

[Ian1779]

What the fucking fuck is that?

 

[Essexrobbie]

Well frank lampards free flowing attacking team scored 69 goals in his season there .. 1 less than our efficient team last year

Well that's just as well then as we have an abundance of strikers but nobody of note anywhere else.

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Where the fucks the skipper?

 

[Ian1779]

Lati surely in midfield?

 

[procdoc]

We’ve fucking given up ain’t we

 

[Robinshio]

this is going to be 5

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Who is Rachel on the bench

 

[covcity4life]

I would love him back of health issues gone. Home game Vs crewe is the best attacking performance I've seen I think. Seemed like we had 20 plus chances that day. Not sure if that was the case in reality . But a good night.

Well I didn't want Mowbray sacked either , but he left before I imagine he was pushed

 

[Jamesimus]

Lati surely in midfield?

Please no

 

[chiefdave]

Why does Robins keep picking Lati, he's made him captain FFS

 

[Jamesimus]

Weird team. Sheaf injured?

 

[bigfatronssba]

Did he just pull 11 names out of a hat?

 

[David O'Day]

So Dovin injured, Better Collins than one of the 2 kids
